redirectMatch question

.htaccess

[SlowMove]

I had an old directory "www.site.com/foo/" and I used the following directive to 301 all the pages in that directory and subdirectory to "www.site.com/bar/index.html".

redirectMatch permanent foo/.* h**p://www.site.com/bar/index.html

No problem until I realized that I created a "foo" subdirectory in the new "bar" directory. So, if someone goes to "www.site.com/bar/foo/anypage.html", they're redirected to "www.site.com/bar/index.html". Not exactly what I had in mind. I thought I had a decent understanding of regular expressions, but nothing I tried seems to kill the old directory without killing the new subdirectory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start-anchor your pattern:

RedirectMatch permanent [b]^/[/b]foo/ h**p://www.site.com/bar/index.html
